Hi all! Haven't been around here a ton lately because I needed to step away from the adoption world a bit for my own wellness. I just wanted to update you all with the announcement that my sweet Elijah was born August 28 at 9:25 PM at our home. He was 6lb 90z, 20 inches long, and had a big noggin for his size (just like his Daddy!). He absolutely perfect and we're madly in love with him. I was able to labor at home with my hubby and catch my baby out of the water- the birth I've always dreamt of. It was an incredible healing experience from the trauma of placement and a highly medicated, awful delivery that had left me scarred. I had no idea how hard parenting would be, but it's been the most amazing journey. I still can't believe sometimes that after miscarriage, placing A, and PCOS I'm finally a Mom! I spent so much time thinking that would never happen for me.
Now to attempt to catch a quick nap before my inevitable cluster feeding marathon until the wee hours of the morning. Just kidding- little man is waking up.
